All the Matches will start from 1:30 pm IST. Let us now look at IND W vs AUS W Dream11 Prediction team for todays match, top fantasy picks, match preview, probable playing XI and the favourites to win the match.
IND W vs AUS W Match Preview
India women last played an ODI Series against Bangladesh back in July. It is the first ODI series the women in blue will be playing at home in 2023. After a historic test win team India will be high on confidence but it is going to be a tough challenge against the reigning world champions.
India will rely on their top-order batters, Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma, Jemimah Rodrigues, and Harmanpreet Kaur, for a good start against the opposition. Smriti Mandhana has been in excellent form in the last few ODI matches, scoring 463 runs in her previous ten outings. Captain Harmanpreet Kaur was also in great touch during the ODI series against England, amassing 221 runs with a half-century and a century to her name. However, while Smriti and Harmanpreet have been standouts, the other batters must also step up and contribute to the team’s success.
Renuka Singh Thakur could be a proven x-factor for India. Despite her short ODI career of seven matches, Renuka has already impressed with 18 wickets. The responsibility will be on the team’s quality spinners, Deepti Sharma, Rajeshwari Gayakwad, and Sneh Rana, who will be crucial in taking wickets during the middle overs.
Australia has been a dominant force in One Day Internationals in 2023. They lost two matches and won eight of the 12 matches played this year. The only series loss came against England Women back in July. Australia will be playing their first ODI series under their new captain Alyssa Healy. The Australians have a well-rounded squad with new stars coming through in recent times. Phoebe Litchfield, Annabel Sutherland and Ashleigh Gardner played key roles in Australia’s dominant run. Beth Mooney and Ellyse Perry will be key at the top of the order for Australia Women.
